Letter, Matthew Zwerling to Israel and Florence Zwerling; July 12, 1964
Transcript
Clarksdale, July 12, 1964
Dear Folks:
Just got back from a date at the movies (only one theater we can go to - saw King Kong destroy Godzilla). The city is still relatively calm.
Our programs here are underway. We are making some headway.
The energy spent in canvassing and organizing meetings for the Freedom Party completely drains me by the day's end. (We are working on the Freedom Party now - everyone in the state is behind, so we're dropping voter registration to concentrate on Freedom registration). We have had some evening picnics at Aaron Henry's house to refresh spirits - they've been working fairly well.
Together in freedom,
Mat
